Mr Papandreou has enumerated a series of bills that the Panhellenic Socialist Movement (Pasok) aims to introduce within its first 100 days of government. It is unlikely that he will succeed in meeting this self-imposed deadline. 5cfa204dacb229bfccdc0b4184e55cbcTue, 03 Nov 2009 12:00:00 GBEurope/Greecehttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/europe/greece/country_report_greece_october_2009.htmlOutlook for 2010-11 The prime minister, George Papandreou, wants to take steps to increase transparency and reduce corruption in the new government, but it remains to be seen whether he is willing to incur the political costs resulting from this. Mr Papandreou has enumerated a series of bills that the Panhellenic Socialist Movement (Pasok) aims to introduce within its first 100 days of government. These should be passed, given the party's majority of 160 out of 300 seats. 814c9230d8b981878af561f352eb6804Tue, 13 Oct 2009 12:00:00 GBEurope/Greecehttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/europe/greece/greece_autos_report_q4_2009.htmlThe worsening economic outlook, evident from a 1. 2% quarter-on-quarter (q-o-q) contraction in the economy in Q109, and the freefall in the autos industry itself, prompted the government to introduce vehicle scrappage scheme, similar to those introduced by other European governments. Although the primarily objective behind the scheme is to bolster vehicle sales, as BMI examined in this report, the scheme is also aimed at targeting emissions from vehicle. 413b4e88f4d400981923dd77239ccb80Wed, 09 Sep 2009 12:00:00 GBEurope/Greecehttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/europe/greece/greece_business_forecast_report.htmlElection Clouds Outlook Early elections have been called in Greece as intense pressure on Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis eventually forced him to dissolve parliament. After a long period of political instability and social tension, the October 4 ballot will give the public an opportunity to choose between the conservative New Democracy and socialist PASOK parties at a time when strong leadership is vital to guide the country through a painful recession. Opinion polls suggest that PASOK will win the election, though it is unclear whether it will be able to form a majority government. f8ca3754c13ea3d1666100a311d62219Wed, 09 Sep 2009 12:00:00 GBEurope/Greecehttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/europe/greece/country_report_greece_august_2009.htmlYou may have noticed that since the second quarter of this year, some additional content has started to appear in your monthly and quarterly CRs. We are now including a country map, and a range of basic data (selected to be useful for business travellers in particular), in every country report. For most countries, except a few where data is in very short supply, we are also including comparative economic indicators that show each country's position relative to regional peers, in easy-to-read graphical format. 511640911b0226e75617edf248b533f5Fri, 07 Aug 2009 12:00:00 GBEurope/Greecehttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/europe/greece/country_report_greece_september_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 The Economist Intelligence Unit's central forecast is that Pasok will emerge as the largest party in the October 4th elections, but that it will not control an absolute majority, and a minority or coalition government will be formed. Although Pasok leads by about 6 percentage points in opinion polls, it is possible that the centre-right New Democracy (ND) could win the elections. Even if it does not, ND could return to government in the next six months. 6a355f54d9a535286916a29b1c3026abThu, 09 Jul 2009 12:00:00 GBEurope/Greecehttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/europe/greece/country_report_greece_june_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 The Economist Intelligence Unit's central forecast is that an early election will be held before the end of the parliamentary term in 2011, potentially in March 2010, when a new president must be elected. If an early election is called, the opposition Panhellenic Socialist Movement (Pasok) would be unlikely to secure an absolute majority, implying that an agreement with at least one other party would be needed. The banking sector has so far not been as severely affected by the financial crisis as in many other countries, but is still being given state support and further measures could be needed as it is heavily exposed to the Balkans. 97d09182ffa59b0726d0069a648f6129Fri, 19 Jun 2009 12:00:00 GBEurope/Greecehttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/europe/greece/country_report_greece_may_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 The Economist Intelligence Unit's central forecast is that an early election will be held before the end of the parliamentary term in 2011, potentially in March 2010, when a new president must be elected.

They are also a major constraint on the government as it attempts to tackle the coming recession. This continues to impede the government's ability to implement stimulus plans like other European peers, leaving the overall outlook for investments in infrastructure unchanged for this quarter. 0ab2823f75c2827bc7b30a56efdc5effSat, 04 Apr 2009 12:00:00 GBEurope/Greecehttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/europe/greece/country_report_greece_march_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 The Economist Intelligence Unit's central forecast is that an early election will be held before the end of the parliamentary term in 2011, potentially in March 2010, when a new president must be elected. The cabinet reshuffle suggests that New Democracy (ND) has abandoned its efforts to maintain fiscal discipline in a bid to boost its popularity. We expect ND's popularity to slide again. a3ae5e9d9a3ec33522b8b8f39e3909baTue, 03 Mar 2009 12:00:00 GBEurope/Greecehttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/europe/greece/greece_infrastructure_report_q1_2009.htmlThe protests in Greece raised the political risk premium in the country's business environment, one that transcends into the infrastructure sector as well. The fragility of the government's control and the frail mandate it has, jeopardises the planned investments in infrastructure projects. The deteriorating financial crisis and the strained government finances - which limit the government's ability to implement stimulus plans like other European peers - means that the overall outlook for investments in infrastructure has severely deteriorated since our last report. 4c9f55f6662fa6db3c2da782e394f8aeMon, 02 Feb 2009 12:00:00 GBEurope/Greecehttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/europe/greece/country_report_greece_february_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 The Economist Intelligence Unit's central forecast is that an early election will be held before the end of the parliamentary term in 2011, potentially in March 2010, when a new president must be elected.

The French government was said to be discussing the sale of 40 of the fighter planes manufactured by Dassault Aviation, 15 Super Puma helicopters made by Eurocopter, and 10 frigates. Discussions were brought to the fore by an official visit to Greece by President Nicholas Sarkozy. 4722ddf924ef1962304339a14a00baeeFri, 12 Dec 2008 12:00:00 GBEurope/Greecehttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/europe/greece/country_report_greece_december_2008.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 The Economist Intelligence Unit's central forecast is that the New Democracy (ND) government, which has a small absolute majority in parliament, should remain in office. A major cabinet reshuffle is likely in early 2009. There is though a risk of an early election if any ND members of parliament are implicated in corruption charges and removed from the party whip. 63bcb56e8072137f87dcab18715a48beFri, 12 Dec 2008 12:00:00 GBEurope/Greecehttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/europe/greece/greece_infrastructure_report_q4_2008.htmlInfrastructure development in Greece has gone from being solely a government responsibility to the greater involvement of the private sector. This has taken place slowly, but steadily, although it should be noted that resistance remains strong, especially regarding privatisations of traditionally state-run monopolies. The downside of this however, is that the greater involvement of the private sector makes Greece more susceptible to the tighter credit conditions that are adversely affecting project finance, and therefore we believe that the credit crunch will have an effect on Greece's planned infrastructure projects. 79f3e11409c5ba5a7b15def684b2b5d4Tue, 11 Nov 2008 12:00:00 GBEurope/Greecehttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/europe/greece/greece_infrastructure_report_q3_2008.htmlThe construction sector is forecast to make up 12. 17% of GDP in 2012, up from 9. 71% that is forecast for 2008. ce397a78fb0b97eab0e4993fb59208e3Tue, 05 Aug 2008 12:00:00 GBEurope/Greece
